October 14, 2020, Optics of China Summit Forum was held in Beijing. Ma Jun, the senior technical expert of FiberHome, delivered a keynote speech on "Smart Optical Network Boosting New Infrastructure" on the day of the forum, pointing out that the optical network has stepped into a new development stage of Smart ON and has the four major characteristics of "ubiquitous, ultra-broadband, open, on-demand", which promotes the digital transformation of society under the situation of new infrastructure.
"Three Ultra" is the eternal goal pursued by Smart Optical Network
The rapid development of services has driven the continuous improvement of optical network capacity. Most operators in the world have adopted 100G to build large-scale fundamental networks. The current commercial use of 400GE ports in IP and packet fields will further promote the bandwidth capacity of optical transport networks. The backbone optical network has begun to deploy single-carrier 200G driven by capacity requirements, and single-carrier 400G and higher rate deployments are considered for scenarios such as metro and DCI. FiberHome conducts in-depth systematic research in the two fields of optical network equipment and optical fiber and cable, and promotes new progress in the field of "three ultra" in optical networks.
Full optical cross connection based on ROADM/OXC has become the mainstream trend of optical network construction
With the increase of network node capacity, the full optical cross connection of ROADM/OXC has irreplaceable advantages in capacity, space and power consumption. Therefore, it has become the mainstream trend of optical network construction. FiberHome’s ROADM/OXC full optical cross connection products and solutions have been applied on a large scale in China Telecom’s backbone ROADM network, Beijing Unicom, Guangdong Mobile and other operator’s networks, and have leading advantages in network construction ideas and product performance.
"Full optical small granule slicing" represented by OSU promotes the transformation from optical transmission network to service network
Compared with traditional OTN, the small-granule services carried by OSU have greatly improved the type of service access, bandwidth utilization, and flexible bandwidth adjustment. It also simplifies service mapping levels to reduce processing latency. Recently, FiberHome is cooperating with Shanghai Telecom to conduct a full optical small-granule service pilot, giving new impetus to Shanghai Telecom's construction of an OTN high-quality service network with features of multi-service comprehensive and efficient bearer, low latency, and intelligence.
The application of SDN and AI in optical networks continues to improve user perception and operation and maintenance efficiency
How to improve user experience is the key to the transformation from traditional optical network to optical service network. FiberHome UMC2 has realized three major characteristics of service perception, service without waiting, and quality assurance in the user network through the loading of SDN applications, greatly enhancing user perception. In terms of perception, the visual adjustment of service, network and performance can be achieved. In terms of service, rapid service opening and adjustment can be achieved. In terms of quality, it can provide users with differentiated services based on bandwidth, latency, and reliability, providing a powerful means for the value-added of optical service networks. In terms of network operation and maintenance, FiberHome has recently successfully completed AI smart operation and maintenance pilots with operators on existing networks, promoting network operation and maintenance to gradually become autonomous.
FiberHome has been a firm practitioner since it innovatively and systematically proposed the concept of "Smart Optical Network" in the industry in 2019. In 2020, centering on the goal of NaaS to help the commercialization of the network, FiberHome once again proposed the three upgrade concepts of “capacity upgrade, experience upgrade, and operation upgrade” to further enrich the connotation of Smart Optical Network. Smart Optical Network has blossomed in various fields, contributing to the digital transformation of society.
